Saturday is for Sewing--or Not

Saturday, I woke early, and did a little work on
the Grey dress before breakfast. After breakfast, I was exhausted. I
had a headache and low fever. So, back to bed, for a little nap.
After the nap, I put way some of the clothes, ( I did 4 loads of wash
Thursday)—and didn't get it all put away—partly because 1 load was
winter clothes—and these didn't put back—put packed away, and
secondly, a few pieces needed a bit of touch up ironing. I didn't get
the touch up ironing done in the morning.

I did next to nothing, really, at all,
but I was still felt tired, and fevered. It was a beautiful, warm
(but not hot) day, but after all the effort involved in putting away
laundry, I ended up taking another nap. 3 hours later, I woke, did
a bit of ironing—from the laundry, and the dress, too. So now,
the facing and collar are done. But not the top stitching, nor the
buttonholes, or hem and buttons. It is still not finished. And
absolutely nothing started on the dresses for the girls.

But what ever had me under the weather
all day finally passed by 9PM. I hadn't eaten anything since
breakfast—but now was hungry—a salad and small serving of pasta
was more than enough, and the day was over.

It is not much of a day when all you
ended up doing is putting away some clean laundry, and your biggest
accomplishments are naps.

But tomorrow is another day—and the
end is in sight for the dress.

Today

Woke this AM feeling refreshed—My
goal is to get the rest of the dress done—early. The buttons for
this dress are the hammer on rivet like kind—I need to get them
done during daylight hours—or wait till tomorrow.
